When you like something and want it to succeed, it’s discouraging to see that thing waste its resources. Especially if you contributed those resources.

I never understood how this very simple position flies over certain heads.

Yes, but that leaves almost everything anyone cares about. Everything except rendering.

It doesn’t lose the tabs at the end of the tab list, for you? Tabs just disappearing after being opened is a daily issue, for me.

Typst seems to be a cloud based solution with monthly fees?

In the exact same way that git is: it isn’t, but one easy way to use it is.

The author’s arguments explicitly don’t dispute plausibility. It accurately states that mere plausibility is a misleading basis for this report, but that the report provides nothing but plausibility, and thus is of low quality and dubious motivation.

Anthropic’s lack of any evidence for their claims doesn’t require any position on AI agent capability at all.

Think better.

My appreciation of Wikipedia has decreased as my own expertise has increased. A long way before I’m anywhere near an expert on a topic, I begin to spot misleading inaccuracies in its Wikipedia articles. Most often, information that is decades out of date — correct once, but now actively perpetuating old, inaccurate information.

If you’re relying on Wikipedia for more than discovery, be aware that you’re internalizing some amount low-quality or false information along with your layman’s view of the topic.

That's just a manner of speaking in former British colonies, or at least the subcontinent.

Which is still a good example of when you shouldn't use passive voice.

Clarifying where “optimising language to evade a responsibility” evolved does nothing to justify it, which you imply with “that’s just”.

How much mundane (ie, non-suicidal) coercion of this nature is happening every day, but does not make the news because nothing interesting happened as a consequence?

A lot. Have you never heard of the advertising industry?

It doesn’t work well enough for the people who use it; false assumption. I use it, and it’s a cludge that I resent every time I have no other option.
